Got my estimate by email today and I am very happy with it. I guess it's good to have friends that are willing to pass their discounts on to you.
I should be talking to the contractor by week's end, just to work out the fine details. I'm hoping I can at least start the foundation work by early summer, but in reality I will be happy even if it takes all year to get it done. Just don't want my '69 to spend another winter inside a tent
The biggest thing now, is just figuring out how to pay for it
